Raul Zubieta

Raul Zubieta (killed 1911) was a Mexican Army Major during the Mexican Revolution. He was killed in the Battle of El Presidio in 1911.

Biography
Zubieta was born to an aristocratic Mexican family and bought a commission in the army. As a staff officer under the Ignacio Sanchez regime, he was among the officers tasked with destroying the Mexican Revolution led by Abraham Reyes in 1911. An exceptionally brutal Major, Zubieta was responsible for many illegal executions of people who not only defied the government, but also offended him.

In 1911, he was made commander of the Military District of Perdido, headquartered in the Nuevo Paraiso capital city of El Presidio. During the battle for the city in later 1911, Zubieta shot rebel woman Luisa Fortuna, who was a lover of Abraham Reyes, and Fortuna's friend American bounty hunter John Marston killed all of Zubieta's troops. The Major demanded that one of them should die, but in a civilized way: a quickdraw.

Death
Marston and Zubieta faced off with pistols in their holsters, preparing to shoot one another. Marston drew first and shot Zubieta six times, killing him. His death was appreciated by the people of Perdido, who had suffered greatly under his rule.
